I mean... yes? It doesn't have to be a trillion dollar company. You put tons of useful data on a public S3 bucket and publicize it, and people are going to download it. S3 data transfer isn't free, so I think it's reasonable to expect that, over time, the cost of serving the data is going to be prohibitive without funding it in some way.

I just explicitly advocated for the opposite of that, so I'm not sure where you're getting that.
